Please know your philosophical razors if you dont already!

(taken from wikipedia):

* Occam's razor: Simpler explanations are more likely to be correct; avoid unnecessary or improbable assumptions.

* Hanlon's razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

* Hitchens's razor: "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence."

* Hume's guillotine: What ought to be cannot be deduced from what is. "If the cause, assigned for any effect, be not sufficient to produce it, we must either reject that cause, or add to it such qualities as will give it a just proportion to the effect."

* Newton's flaming laser sword: If something cannot be settled by experiment or observation, then it is not worthy of debate.

* Sagan standard: Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

* Popper's falsifiability principle: For a theory to be considered scientific, it must be falsifiable.

* Grice's razor: As a principle of parsimony[disambiguation needed], conversational implications are to be preferred over semantic context for linguistic explanations.

While the specific percentages in this meme are not accurate, still lol. There is a lot of truth to that when we have a high risk vaccine that didnt go through the usual safety checks being pushed on the public.

Interesting fact of the day: Assuming you live around sea level, and weigh about 140 lbs then if you were to weigh yourself in a perfect vacuum you would weigh about 1/5th (0.2) lbs heavier.

Unpopular opinion: Jesus only decided to start a new religion after he figured out he was shit at carpentry.

There is some truth to this one me thinks.

I agree with this message

Am I the only one who caught the underhanded bullshit the democrats pulled early this morning to shoot down the increase in the stimulus bill from $600 to $2000 and try to make it look like the GOP.. man these Democrats really are slime balls.

Trump proposes an increase to $2000 which of course the news is trying to sell as a "Democrat led initiative", LOL. Then the democrats pretend to play along and say its a great idea.. so far so good.. but then what do they do. They hold the vote to decide on the increase in a pro forma house session so it would effectively be impossible to pass the amendment even with a supermajority support from GOP.

Pro forma sessions by the rules of the senate can not have counted votes. That means a motion can only pass if it gets unanimous support (100% vote in support of it). This particular bill even before the increase in amount to 2K had dissent from both sides with both democrats and republicans voting nay. So by setting the vote up this way allowed the democrats to look like they supported the 2K stimulus while simultaneously guaranteeing it would get struck down.

They really are the slimesty party around right now, i cant stand them anymore.

Merry Christmas. Remember, its a time for good will, you dont need to look far to find the homeless or a stranger in need.
